NEW YORK, N.Y. - Christie's New York City auction house will hold a sale of photo prints to benefit the children of a South African photojournalist who was killed covering the Libyan uprising last year.
Christiane Amanpour will host the auction Tuesday to benefit photographer Anton Hammerl's three children.
Hammerl was shot April 5, 2011, when he and other journalists were attacked by Moammar Gadhafi's forces. Hammerl's family did not learn of his death for weeks.
The Committee to Protect Journalists documented scores of attacks on journalists covering the Libyan conflict that toppled Gadhafi. Among others killed were New York-based photographer Chris Hondros and British-born photographer-filmmaker Tim Hetherington.
The auction Tuesday will include a print of Robert Capa's famous image of the D-Day landing donated by the International Center of Photography.
